That's why I find it all not very objective, & really all just eye of the beholder.

That’s what favourite literally means,

Tell me "I've spent all the budget in the Opening Ceremony" without telling me "I've spent all the budget in the Opening Ceremony"

I've run out of Likes again ....

I'm afraid LA's ceremonies will be full of entertainment but that does not equal to creativity and culture. I hope they prove me wrong. 

At this point, pure entertainment would be a vast improvement tbh. Any well put show would be better than this CC.

Mate... What a mess of a ceremony. I wasted my time watching it. 

[Olympian2004]

Yes, "My Way" was originally a French song ("Comme d'habitude" by Jacques Reveaux) but as a closing song in the Olympics, it is not fitting. It was one of Frank Sinatra's signature songs and has very personal lyrics. Even a second performance of "L'hymne à l'amour" by an orchestra would have been more fitting.

sorry to those who will be claiming it as the best olympic ceremony

Trust me, no one is thinking that, and the entire forum agrees this has been a catastrophe.

Even the 2021 pandemic ceremonies were better than this. Like i said before: They spent all the budget for that Seine show.

Well, it's 14:51 right now in Los Angeles. Or did you measure that by the length of the shadows?

Lucky guess

“I bit off more than I could chew”

Can’t think of a better line to describe Paris’ ceremonies. Pity too, the games themselves were incredible.

[savas]

Everything has been just exhausting, including that uninspired, cheap MTV LA handover. What a disaster ...

Was good imo. Enjoyed it.

Who is this lady?  CLASSY!  Singing the way the song was written -- without all the uohs and ahs and wa-was of American "performers" who can't sing!!  GOOD FOR HER!!

Yeah, sure. But sometimes it seems that the sentiment is the be-all, end-all of all Games/Ceremonies at times & not just "favorite".

im referring to the final song, i actually quite liked it along with the (though very brief) fireworks

[Daze]

No "Non, je ne regrette rien" to end the whole thing!? 

Shame on you!

[kevzz]

At least this closing song My Way is classy and well judged choice. In the same way as Celine’s closing.

Wasn’t “My Way” actually written by Neil Sedaka?

[Scotguy II]

I am not going to bother watching the Paralympic opening.
